MidiaDub: Hip to be Square in Brazil
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:17
MidiaDub is a young production company from Brazil, consisting of two really nice gentlemen who are making some big waves. They sent us a video and a few words about one of their projects, and we liked it a lot. Check out http://www.midiadub.com for more of their visual goodness.
The owner of a club from Minas Gerais - Brazil called us to create a permanent new project for its main dancefloor. So we designed a few and he chose this one. It´s made of 70 squares with 10 cm depth covering a 8x3m grid. All done with plaster/drywall.
All the content was produced in After Effects and Cinema 4d based on the technical drawings we sent to him. The consists of tons of loops playing with the square shapes and regular 8x3 loops as a normal dual head screen with a grid mask on top of it.
We used two xga projectors to cover our "screen" and we built a media server based on Resolume Arena (core i7, 8gb ram, ati 6970). With the advanced output we were able to align our geometry perfectly and then just have fun vjing!
Besides that we made a composition intended to be used with the autopilot feature and gave a workshop for the technical crew of the club on how to control Resolume.
For three months now everything is running stable without any issues. Resolume Arena is rock solid!
